In November, the Reserve Bank referred DHFL, the third largest pure-play mortgage lender, to the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) for insolvency proceedings.

Before that, the company’s board was superseded and R. Subramaniakumar was appointed as the administrator. He is also the resolution professional under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC).

The last date for the submission of bids under the insolvency process was Monday.

One of the sources said the company has received 24 bids, of which 14 are for the entire operations.

According to the second source, the number of bidders was close to 30.
